my uncle larry passed away monday night after a long fight with cancer.

the sharks played their final game of the series against the calgary flames last night. of course the sharks came out ahead, and played a really intense game.

my uncle larry gave my dad and brother tickets back when the sharks played at the cow palace. i remember they were really crappy their first season, and actually won that night against a very strong team. my brother was hooked on hockey after that night, and got me very excited about it, and hockey quickly became our favorite sport.

i want to thank my uncle larry for all that he gave us while he was here. i found a love for a new sport, learned to love the beach on a cold day, and became skilled at taking care of rose bushes. he will be missed by us all, and i'll always think of him when the sharks pull ahead and win a game that they necessarily shouldn't have.
